COOS Show Results
September, 2009

   It was another fine effort by the Society volunteers at the annual COOS orchid show the end of September.  Again this year the show was held at the Hespeler arena in Cambridge.  As usual their committee had organized the operation to run like clockwork.  The RBG volunteers were somewhat hampered by the low turnout resulting in only 17 flowering plants for the display.  Thanks Chris Foden, Denise Macleod, Robert and Jane Johnstone, Ben and Cindy Boers, Pat and Lynda Vuurman.  Flower quality led to 11 plant ribbons plus the display!
   The results were:
Robert and Jane Johnstone
1st and Best in Class: Phragmipedium China Dragon
